Good whenever! Because this is an epic clash between greats, I give you an epic track first: I'll Face Myself!

Yeah, I just got Persona 4 and am OBSESSED. BROSUKE <3

ROCK ON! Hey, who's that guy over there? He looks a lot like me... Oh crap.

I believe I'm on first, with the "Go, only guy I gave to the ref!" post.

Will be using Compoundeyes, good luck to my opponent and SoS.

Oops, I completely missed this. I was looking out for it, but just never saw it. Sorry for the delay.

Well, I thought you might only be sending one, but I just wanted to be sure. So, since you sorta asked for unevolved Pokemon, I'll oblige. Hatchet (the Scratchet), lets do this. We're going with Prankster.

Status moves are how we roll, so start off with a Toxic. Then Bulk Up and slash it with some Fury Swipes. But if it tries to T-wave you, Taunt it first, pushing the other actions back.

Toxic - Bulk Up - Fury Swipes
If Joltik uses Thunder Wave, Taunt and push other actions back

Ah, tricky, though not Tricky enough! Without your Prankster, you aren't nearly as fast as me, so Gastro Acid away that obnoxious ability, THEN Thunder Wave him into a tight position, and finally pin him down with an Electroweb!

If he managed to Taunt before the Thunder Wave hits him, replace the Thunder Wave with Energy Ball!

So:

Gastro Acid - Thunder Wave - Electroweb

Energy Ball over Thunder Wave if Taunted before the Thunder Wave takes place.

Team Icebug:

Spritz (CompoundEyes)
HP: 90
Energy: 100

HP: 90
Energy: 100
Speed: 40
Status: Fine
Boosts/Drops: 0
Actions: Toxic - Bulk Up - Fury Swipes
If Joltik uses Thunder Wave, Taunt and push other actions back

Aaand, the race is on! Hatchet grins gleefully as he fires off a quick Toxic to Spritz's face, badly poisoning her! She responds by belching some acid of her own into his face. Suddenly, he's not feeling like so much of a Prankster... Spritz adds some fuel to the flames with a weak jolt of electricity. It doesn't damage Hatchet, but he's certainly feeling a little stiffer. But he doesn't let this affect him, and simply flips the bird at the tick, enraging her enough to only use offensive attacks! She kicks off her assault with an electrified web of silk threads, that catch Hatchet, and shock him enough to lower his speed for a while. Hatchet now decides to flex his muscles, and puffs himself up considerably.

Calcs:

Team Icebug:

Spritz (CompoundEyes)
HP: 87
Energy: 83
Speed: 65
Status: Badly poisoned (2 HP next round), Taunted (4 actions)

Team jas61292:

Hatchet (Prankster)
HP: 81
Energy: 77
Speed: 40
Status: 20% paralysed, Gastro Acid (3 actions)
Boosts/Drops: +1 Atk/Def, -1 Spd

Alright, now that we've slowed our foe down to a manageable speed, we can begin an offensive! A pair of Energy Balls to hopefully pick away at Hatchet's defenses, then another Electroweb to lay on some more damage while slowing him down a bit more.

So:

Energy Ball - Energy Ball - Electroweb

Time to go on the offensive. Use that buffed up attack stat to scratch it up with your Fury Swipes. Then use Protect to block the second Energy Ball and stall for some more Toxic damage. Finish up with another Fury Swipes, cause that is the extent of your offensive movepool (which is completely my fault, I know).

Fury Swipes - Protect - Fury Swipes

Placeholder for reffing, as I'm crazy tired, and will get to it in the morning!

Actions: Fury Swipes - Protect - Fury Swipes

And we're back! Spritz starts off with a ball formed from the power of NATURE! Hatchet tanks it like a bawss, and slashes furiously at the tiny tick Pokémon, five times in fact! Seeing red, Spritz fires another Energy Ball, only to have it blocked by a green barrier created by Hatchet. Wondering how he did that, she changes tack and goes for another Electroweb, which slows Hatchet even more, but he manages to get another couple of swipes at Spritz before the round ends.

So, lets keep chipping away. Start out with another Fury Swipes. Then lets use our regained Prankster to get in a first hit with Nature Power. I think in an arena like this it should become Tri Attack. Our SpA might be pathetic, but it is only one point worse than our Atk, and at least it gets STAB. Finish up with another Fury Swipes. But since we have toxic on our side. If Spritz tries to shoot an electrical web at you, protect yourself once.

Fury Swipes - Nature Power - Fury Swipes
Replace any 1 action with Protect if Electroweb is used.

Well, since it has become clear that those nasty claws of his HURT...let's Electroweb the first actions to force the Protect, Energy Ball on the next to cause some pain, then Disable Fury Swipes to remove its offensive options and make it last as long as possible!

So:

Electroweb - Energy Ball - Disable (Fury Swipes)

Tired, so flavour here is limited. Joltik shoots another electric web that gets blocked by Protect... Or it would've been if Scratchet's muscles hadn't seized up. PARAHAX. Energy Ball. Scratchet SUMMONS THE POWER OF NATURE to use the artificial environment for Tri Attack. Wheeeee. Joltik wipes Fury Swipes from Scratchet's memory. He fails to do anything. FUNSIES FOR ALL.

More webs before the poison catches up to you! And try a Rock Climb somewhere in there to try for the confusion!

Electroweb - Rock Climb - Electroweb

Heal up and let that toxic do its work. Get in a hit while you can.
Roost - Nature Power - Protect

In lieu of flavour,
Accept my genius haikus,
Nah, they're not that great...

More webs zap Hatchet,
As his muscles spasm up,
He is paralysed.

Joltik climbs... Something...
And bashes down on Scratchet,
Who uses nature.

Scratchet guards attacks,
Another ineffective web,
The round ends for now.

Bah, paralysis sucks. But Prankster is nice. So Roost up before anything bad happens. Then chill out a bit before using your now non-disabled Fury Swipes. But if Paralysis tries to ruin your fun, keep roosting until it works.

Roost - Chill - Fury Swipes
If paralyzed during Roost, replace next action with Roost until it works.

Well, I suppose it's time to try for really epic luck or go down trying. That poison will kill us by next turn even if he's paralyzed every action, so this is the last turn!

Electroweb - Energy Ball - Electroweb

Pray for incredibly spiteful and undeserved hax

Sudden Death! Heaven Or Hell!

In this struggle for victory, Hatchet takes a quick breather to regain his health, as another damn web jolts him. Spritz follows up with THE POWER OF MOTHER EARTH'S TESTICLE as Hatchet takes another breather to restore his energy. MORE WEB! And then... CUT YOU! CUT YOU! CUT YOU! CUT YOU! 4 hits from Fury Swipes ends it!
